Song Tong was about to go to Song Yang to inform him about the situation of the Liu brothers and sisters in Tanzhou, but Song Mao grabbed his father.
"Father, what kind of person is King Jiangzhou?" Song Mao asked.
Song Tong was stunned, and then realized that Song Mao was afraid that Song Yang would seize Tanzhou's territory.
"Maoer! Ayang only has Daqian in his heart!" Song Tong emphasized.
"Besides, he is the heir to the great power of the world, and he will be crowned the great treasure in the future!"
Song Tong supported Song Yang in ascending to the throne, and he knew that Song Yang did not have strong ambitions for that position.
But there will always be someone to sit with.
Song Tong felt that it had to be Song Yang.
"A Yang's talent is unmatched by anyone..." Song Tong began to patiently tell his son about Song Yang's experience.
He had been staying in Jiangzhou for half a year, never missed important events, and Song Yang did not shy away from him.
So I already have a very comprehensive understanding of Song Yang.
From disaster relief to post-disaster reconstruction, from industry and commerce, education to economy, military, Song Yang knew something about almost all industries.
And each can guide people to do well.
He can draw many strange drawings and create various tools or weapons.
There are also many advanced ideas and styles.
Especially his attitude towards the common people does not look like a superior at all, and he can be said to be a model of approachability.
Therefore, his prestige among the people of Jiangzhou is unparalleled.
Song Tong talked a lot, and it wasn't until sunset that Song Yang came over.
I can't help but come here, I'm afraid Uncle Qi's family will starve to death...
"A Yang! I was about to go find you. Mao'er wants to tell you about the situation of the bandits in Tanzhou!" Song Tong said immediately when he saw Song Yang coming over.
"No hurry, no hurry! Uncle Qi. You've been chatting for a few hours. Aren't you hungry? Look, my sister, Ning'er, has fallen asleep from hunger. Let's go eat quickly." Song Yang pointed at Song Ning. smiled.
Song Ning had already fallen asleep at the table, and neither Song Tong nor his son noticed.
"Yes, yes. Eat! Eat! Ning'er, let's go, let's go eat."
…
The dinner was very sumptuous. Sister Tong Qian cooked it herself, and the meat and vegetables were delicious.
Brother and sister Song Mao and Song Ning ate like crazy.
I haven't had a decent meal in more than half a year.
I even gnawed on bark grass roots for a few days!
"Hiccup~"
"Eat slowly, eat slowly! Is there anyone who wants to snatch it from you?"
Song Mao burped after eating, Song Tong hurriedly patted him on the back and said.
"Alas! Father, ah... Yang, you don't know what kind of life we have been living these past six months!"
"Hiding in the mountains and having good food all depended on luck. If I hadn't gotten some autumn food later, I wouldn't have been able to survive."
Song Mao shook his head and sighed and began to tell Song Yang about his experiences in Tanzhou for more than half a year.
After talking about himself, he talked about the military situation of the Liu brothers and sisters.
"There are about 40,000 to 50,000 people, but at least half of them are Minzhuang."
"And I feel that they should be divided into different camps. The soldiers in the fortresses in the north of Tanzhou may not be at the command of the Liu brothers and sisters."
"The Liu brothers and sisters are training troops. They trained two thousand recruits before, but they were eliminated by me. He will definitely train again this time when he returns."
Song Mao talked about everything he knew, everything he knew.
From the general distribution of troops, factions, composition, and the training of new recruits, everything is mentioned.
After listening to his father Song Tong's words, he chose to believe in Song Yang and also believed in his father.
"By the way, Tanzhou has been redistributing land recently, but the implementation is not very good. The officials below are all working hard and have not even finished the work of measuring the land."
"My father had the foresight to do this and directly burned the land register!"
Having said this, Song Mao also praised his father. At that time, Song Tong wanted to die with his enemies, so he directly burned the land roster stored in the palace.
So much so that the Liu siblings couldn't even tell which family was a landlord and who was a poor family.
"If we use troops against Tanzhou in the future, the lower-level officials will be able to be used by us."
Song Mao often contacted the lower-level officials in the yamen, and obtained a lot of information through them.
"Thank you for your hard work, second brother. Once the matter in Jiangzhou is resolved, we will use troops against Tanzhou."
After listening to Song Mao's story for a long time, Song Yang nodded and said.
It was originally planned to use troops against Tanzhou in the second half of the year.
Now we know the strength of Tanzhou's troops, and we can also find many people to lead the way.
Then the date of using troops can be brought forward.
Of course, we need to deal with those two people in Raozhou first.
"Ayang, there is no urgency about this matter. It is best to wait until the second half of the year and implement it according to the original plan."
"The members of the alliance are also training their troops. If they mobilize their troops early, their new recruits may not be able to train them."
Song Tong proposed to implement it according to the original plan.
"Well... let's take a look. Let's take Raozhou first and then talk about it." Song Yang thought about it for a while and wasn't completely sure, but it's certain that we'll take Raozhou first.
"Raozhou?" Song Mao was stunned. What does it have to do with Raozhou?
"Haha! Mao'er, the two princes of Raozhou actually want to raise troops against Jiangzhou!" Song Tong smiled disdainfully and told Song Mao about Raozhou.
"Brothers Song Kuo and Song Yu?" Song Mao muttered.
"These two people have no basis for evidence. They are both self-righteous people." Song Mao gave their brothers a comment.
As a prince who is not the crown prince, Song Mao actually knew the Song Kuo brothers.
None of them are heirs. They have nothing to do on weekdays and occasionally get together.
However, the two brothers Song Kuo are not very good in character and have a bad reputation in the whole circle.
"These two guys don't have enough evidence. Now let's wait for them to take action first." Song Yang waved his hand.
"Let's still talk about the use of troops in Tanzhou. Second brother, are you going to go with Uncle Qi or with me? I plan to help Qi Uncle with troops from Yuezhou to Tanzhou, and I will go to Ezhou." Song Yang asked.
The matter of using troops.
"Well... I want to go back to Hengzhou!" Song Mao hesitated for a moment but said he wanted to go back to Hengzhou.
"There are more than 4,700 elite soldiers in Hengzhou and more than 2,000 family members of sergeants. They are waiting for me." Song Mao said seriously.
"This..." Song Tong became a little embarrassed.
After finally getting together with his son, Song Tong still hopes to have his son by his side to be safe if he launches troops against Tanzhou in the future.
"Uncle Qi. Actually, I think the second brother made a good decision. He is very responsible and courageous." Song Yang said with a smile.
"Those more than 4,000 people are all local soldiers in Tanzhou. After they are trained, they can serve as Uncle Seventh's team. Yuezhou soldiers can never stay in Tanzhou for a long time."
Song Yang was very honest. He was borrowing troops to help Song Tong take Tanzhou back, but Yuezhou soldiers still had to go back to Yuezhou.
The stability of Tanzhou depends on Song Tong himself.
With those more than 4,000 soldiers, Song Tong had his own armed force.
Of course Song Tong also understood that Song Yang wanted to return all the military power in Tanzhou to himself.
He was just worried that something might happen to his son during the war.
"Father and son really want to go back to Hengzhou. We need those people. They also need someone to take them back to Hengzhou." Song Mao said firmly.
Hengzhou must remove a prominent figure, otherwise the King of Hengzhou may not be willing to let him go.
There are six to seven thousand people in total, which is a lot of wealth.
"Oh! Okay. Then be careful." Song Tong sighed and said.
"But Ning'er must stay! Ning'er will stay in Jiangzhou from now on!" Song Tong emphasized.
"Uh! Father, I actually want to go back to Hengzhou..."
Song Ning, who had not spoken much during the whole process, was suddenly called upon, but she actually couldn't let go of the old, weak woman and child in the family camp.
"No!" Song Tong and his son said in unison.
"Ning'er, just stay in Jiangzhou. We will take you back after we get Tanzhou back." Song Mao looked at his sister and said.
He didn't want his sister to go back to Hengzhou with him again. She had suffered enough in the past six months.
"Ning'er, you will stay in Jiangzhou even after Tanzhou is taken back!" Song Tong added.
"Huh?" Song Yang was stunned, why do you want to leave a proton again?
"That seventh uncle, our uncle and nephew don't have to..." Song Yang was confused.
In fact, he didn't want anyone to leave any protons, because he felt it was meaningless.
If we really want to go to war, peace will not be achieved just because of a proton.
"Father, Ning'er wants to return to Tanzhou!" Song Ning looked at her father and said.
"Ning'er, my father asked you to stay in Jiangzhou so that you and your brother Wang could learn something."
"Ayang, you don't have to persuade Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi really wants Ning'er to learn something."
"Mao'er, you don't know the situation in Jiangzhou. If Ning'er is here, you can learn a lot. If possible, you should come here often to learn!"
Song Tong said one by one that he really wanted Song Ning to stay and learn.
Song Yang's set of natural science will be eye-opening.
He didn't want his children to be like frogs in a well, so he felt it was necessary to learn from Song Yang.
"Uh. Okay then. You can come anytime you want to learn." Song Yang couldn't say anything else. How could he object to others' progress?
"study?"
Song Mao and Song Ning looked confused. They didn't know why their father was so interested in learning.
"You should go to the school and listen to a class tomorrow. You should understand what father means." Song Tong said with a smile.
That's it for now, the brother and sister can only talk about it after class tomorrow.
The subsequent topic turned back to the use of troops in Tanzhou. Since Song Mao wanted to go back, Song Yang had to express his views.
Provisions, weapons, and even instructors must be provided as support.
Giving him sufficient support can also help Song Tong and his son establish their prestige.
Song Tong and his son did not refuse.
Now is indeed a time when we need help from others, so remember this favor first.
After Tanzhou is taken back, the father and son will wholeheartedly help Song Yang get the big job. This is reciprocating a favor.
This meal was eaten until the beginning of the day.
Song Ning was shaking her head sleepily again, and then everyone realized that it was time to rest.
After the party was over, Song Yang sent the father and son out. Seeing Song Ning dressed in men's clothes, he felt a little awkward and asked:
"Ning'er, did you bring women's clothes?"
Song Ning said embarrassedly: "No...no. I have been dressing like this recently..."
Song Ning, a little girl of 16 or 17, was forced to follow her brother to fight guerrillas in the mountains. She also had to live in the army and could only wear men's clothes.
As time went by, my daughter’s clothes disappeared.
"Alas. It's all my father..." Seventh Uncle Song Tong was about to start blaming himself again.
Song Yang hurriedly interrupted Song Tong, turned around and said to Tong Qian:
"Xiaoqian. I'll take Ning'er to make some new clothes tomorrow. I want the most beautiful ones!"
